0so, the person doing a bunch of work for me on my property asked if I could do some photos of her kids for her Dad for Christmas.
It's been almost 9 years since the stroke ended that for me, so I thought I would come here and ask for you prayers, good vibes, positive thoughts, or whatever encouragement you can spare.
She doesn't want fru-frue, or Christmas ornaments, or Paris - just the kids looking themselves. I used to be pretty good at that. It's freezing cold, so I have setbup a basic backdrop in the dining room and ran a quick test today. Well, at least I can still nail flash exposure within 3 shots. It'll be after Thanksgiving before we schedule a half-hour session (that used to be more than enough, pray it still is). Pray I can still move quick enough to capture small kids expressions.
That's it. Just a little nervous about not moving too fast and passing out, about dusting off old skills, about photographing young people (4&6), about photographing humans again after the stroke.
Just pray I make her and her father smile, not ruin their Christmas with crap pictures of the kids.
Thanks.
